Plant Care:
Tips on how to grow your plant successfully:
Light: Best grown in partial shade or bright indirect light.
Potting: Always use a free draining potting soil. A good quality potting soil with the addition of fine gravel or perlite is recommended.
Watering: Water your plant thoroughly and wait for your plant to start drying out before watering again. Approximately once a week. Never leave your plant standing in water for any length of time. Always pour off the excess water which has collected in the drip tray after watering.
Temperature: Lepismium are tropical rain forest cacti and prefer minimum temperatures of above 5 degrees Celsius.
Fertiliser: Apply a balanced water soluble fertiliser at ½ of the recommended strength once a month during spring and summer.
